In Lyn's default Normal Mode, the event triggers Batta's auto-death.

In Lyn's Hard mode, as he does not automatically die this time, Batta is a bit more intimidating to deal with: his attacks will most likely be lethal if you don't use a vulnerary, and thus the safest strategy is to do exactly that: use a vulnerary next to him until he is at low enough HP to attack him on Player Phase.

Etymology[]

Batta was a classic military term meaning a special allowance made to officers, soldiers, or other public servants during the British Raj. In Japanese, Batta means grasshopper or locust (of superfamily Acridoidea).

Trivia[]

  • Batta has become a popular joke within the Fire Emblem fan community for the way his boastfulness and overconfidence belie his incompetence.
  • Batta's portrait would be reused for an unnamed Black Fang member in Chapter 27, Cog of Destiny.
  • Batta continues the Gazzak archetype being a ruffian who serves as the first boss fought in the entire Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. He is also the first boss fought in the entire Fire Emblem franchise on the games released overseas (excluding Japan releases).
